Parent Server wizard - Forwarding Configuration step

In this step, you specify the information this Axeda® Platform will forward to the designated parent server each time it posts to the parent; this information can include events, alarms, and data items received from the assets sending data to this Platform. Only data items defined with the "forwarding" attribute will be forwarded to the parent server.

1.       If you want to forward all events to the parent server, select that check box.

2.       If you want to forward all alarms above a minimum severity level, select that check box and then type the severity level; all alarms with that level or greater will be forwarded. The default behavior is to forward all alarms with severity levels of 500 or greater.

3.       Select how to forward data item values:

§         If you want to forward all values for all "forwarded" data items received from the Agent assets for the full posting period, select that option.

§         If you want to forward values for all "forwarded" data items at a specific interval each posting period, select that check box and type the number of seconds into each posting period when you want to capture the values for the "forwarded" data items. The default behavior is to retrieve the values for all forwarded data items defined with the forwarded attribute every 30 seconds. The rate you specify here should be more than the defined Post rate.

§         If you do not want to forward data item values to the parent server, select that option.

4.       If you are forwarding data items, you need to configure those data items with the "forwarded" attribute. If you have not used the Configuration application Model wizard to configure the data items to forward, you can define the data items to forward in the next step. Click Next to the select the data items to forward.

If you have selected to not forward data items and you are finished configuring or viewing the forwarding settings, click Next to confirm the configuration for this parent server.

If you click Cancel and continue canceling, all information configured in this wizard is removed and the Administration home page appears.
